ALBANY – Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has been subpoenaed by the state Lobbying Commission in connection with a probe of a discounted suite he used at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel, it was learned yesterday.

The subpoena was served late Monday after commission Executive Director David Grandeau received a legal opinion from Attorney General Eliot Spitzer saying he was free to proceed with the action, a source said.

Silver (D-Manhattan) said through a spokesman that he had not taken time to read the subpoena.

“He knows there is a subpoena in an Assembly office but he hasn’t seen it,” said Silver spokesman Charles Carrier.

Carrier refused to say if Silver would cooperate with the subpoena or challenge it in court.

The subpoena seeks Silver’s testimony and personal records relating to a January 2002, two-day stay in a hotel suite which normally rents for $1,500 a night but was provided to Silver for $109 a night.
